HAT-PIN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 749,948, dated January19, 1904.

Application filed January 20,1902. Serial No. 90,509. (No model.)

sylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Hat-Pins, ofwhich improvement the following is a specification.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements inhat-pins, and more particularly to hat-pins and hair-pins.

The present invention has for its object to provide a novel form ofhat-pin that may be attached to the lower face of the rim of the hat,which will permit easy access thereto to place the pin in position inthe hair to retain the hat. v

Another object of the invention is to provide a hat-pin that will notpierce through the hat and destroy the same; furthermore, to providenovel means to retain the hat-pin in proper position at all times andprevent same from becoming lost or disengaged from the hair.

My invention further aims to construct a device of this character thatwill be extremely simple in construction, strong, durable, and

comparatively inexpensive to manufacture.

With the above and other objects in view the invention consists in thenovel combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinaftermore fullydescribed.

In describing the invention in detail reference is had to theaccompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, and whereinlike numerals of reference indicate like parts throughout the severalviews, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved hat-pin.Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the same, showing the device secured tothe rim of a hat. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the securing-platecarrying the keeper.

In the drawings the reference-numeral 1 indicates a securing-plate,having formed therein openings 2, which openings are adapted to receivemeans for fastening the same to the under face of the rim of the hat.This fastening-plate 1 hasformed integral therewith the keeper 8, inwhich is secured the stud 4.

The reference-numeral 5 represents the hatpin, which is slidably securedin the keeper 3, said hat-pin being preferably constructed with threeprongs 6 6 and a central prong 7, said central prong having formedtherein a slot 8,

in which rides the stud 4. The said prongs have pointed ends 9. Theprongs are connected together at their upper ends by the Fig. 2 of thedrawings, and as it is placed in position the pin will assume theposition as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 2 and illustrated in Fig. 1.It will be seen that by this arrangemerit it will be impossible for thehat to become disengaged from the head, and also that it will beimpossible for the pin to become disengaged from the keeper.

The many advantages obtained by the use of my improved hat-pin will bereadily apparent from the foregoing description, taken in connectionwith the accompanying drawings.

It will be noted that various changes may be made in the details ofconstruction without departing from the general spirit of my invention.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecureby Letters Patent, is

A hat-fastener comprising a securing-plate formed with a plurality ofopenings, an inverted-U -shaped keeper having its ends formed integralwith said plate, and one of the edges thereof arranged flush with thefront edge of the plate, and a pin formed with two side prongs engagingthe side walls of said keeper, a stud arranged centrally of said keeper,and a prong arranged between said first-named prong and'being formedwith an elongated slot through which the said stud projects, the head ofsaid pin being flat and engaging the said securing-plate beneath saidkeeper and projecting beyond the rear edge thereof, substantially as andfor the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto signed my name in the presence oftwo subscribing witnesses.

REINHART OMLOR.
